Core Nutritionals PRE
Core Nutritionals' everyday pre-workout: 200 mg of caffeine, 6 g of citrulline and 3.2 g of beta-alanine a scoop
PRE is Core Nutritionals' everyday pre-workout, built to cover energy, pumps, endurance and focus with a moderate 200 mg of caffeine, so you can use it on most training days. Every scoop has 6,000 mg of L-citrulline for pumps and 3,200 mg of beta-alanine for muscular endurance.
Core updated the formula and label in 2026, and we have both versions on the shelf. The new Everyday PRE adds 2,000 mg of taurine, 1,000 mg of L-tyrosine and 500 mg of choline bitartrate, with 200 mg each of sodium and potassium. The earlier Essential PRE has 2,500 mg of betaine, 1,000 mg of acetyl L-carnitine, 300 mg of alpha-GPC and AstraGin instead. Each tub has 30 servings, and we carry Fruit Punch, Lemon Lime, Strawberry Lemonade, Pineapple Mango and the Fun Sweets cotton candy flavors Blue Raspberry and Orange Cream.

Lemon Lime comes only in the earlier label, and Strawberry Lemonade and Pineapple Mango only in the 2026 label. Fruit Punch and the Fun Sweets flavors can be either, so check the panel on your tub. Made in the USA. The 2026 label lists a facility that also processes milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy and sesame.
How to use it
- Mix 1 scoop with 8 to 12 oz of water and drink it 20 to 30 minutes before training. Read the directions on your tub before use.
- Don't take more than the recommended serving, and don't combine it with other stimulants or alcohol.
- Stay hydrated before, during and after your workout.
For adults 18 and older. Each scoop has 200 mg of caffeine. Don't use it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional first if you take other supplements or any prescription or over-the-counter medication, or if you have, have been treated for or have a family history of a medical condition. Don't take it if you're dehydrated or in excessive heat, stop 2 weeks before surgery, and stop and see a doctor if you have any adverse reaction.
A good fit if you
- Want a moderate-caffeine pre-workout for most training days
- Want a big citrulline dose for pumps without a huge stim hit
- Like candy-shop flavors such as Fun Sweets cotton candy
